Richard M. Nixon is considered a bad president by most people, mainly because of Watergate... More than 40 years later, the word Watergate is synonymous with political crime and corruption.

Trump... Ukrainegate: Related to Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky, which led to his first impeachment. The scandal came to light when a whistleblower report revealed that President Trump had asked Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in July 2019 to investigate Joe Biden, Trump's political opponent in the 2020 presidential election, his son Hunter Biden, and company CrowdStrike, to discuss these matters with Trump's ... Russiagate: Allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with Trump's campaign. On July 13, 2018, a federal grand jury sitting in the District of Columbia returned an indictment against 12 Russian military intelligence officers for their alleged roles in interfering with the 2016 United States (U.S.) elections. The indictment charges 11 defendants, Boris Alekseyevich Antonov, Dmitriy Sergeyevich Badin, Nikolay Yuryevich Kozachek, Aleksey Viktorovich Lukashev, Artem Andreyevich Malyshev, Sergey Aleksandrovich Morgachev, Aleksandr Vladimirovich Osadchuk, Aleksey Aleksandrovich Potemkin, Ivan Sergeyevich Yermakov, Pavel Vyacheslavovich Yershov, and Viktor Borisovich Netyksho, with a computer hacking conspiracy involving gaining unauthorized access into the computers of U.S. persons and entities involved in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, stealing documents from those computers, and staging releases of the stolen documents to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The indictment also charges these defendants with aggravated identity theft, false registration of a domain name, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Two defendants, Aleksandr Vladimirovich Osadchuk and Anatoliy Sergeyevich Kovalev, are charged with a separate conspiracy to commit computer crimes, relating to hacking into the computers of U.S. persons and entities responsible for the administration of 2016 U.S. elections, such as state boards of elections, secretaries of state, and U.S. companies that supplied software and other technology related to the administration of U.S. elections.

Sharpiegate: When Trump displayed a map altered with a Sharpie to support his claim about Hurricane Dorian's path. On September 4, he showed reporters a weather map which had been altered with a black Sharpie marker to falsely show the hurricane on track to hit Alabama. He also reportedly ordered his aides to obtain an official retraction of the weather bureau's comment that the storm was not headed for Alabama. Now there is "Signalgate" A recent controversy involving the Trump administration, where sensitive military plans were reportedly discussed in a Signal group chat. The issue arose when a journalist from *The Atlantic* was accidentally added to this chat, which included high-ranking officials like the National Security Advisor, Defense Secretary, and Vice President. The chat allegedly contained details about military operations in Yemen. This incident has sparked debates about the use of unsecured messaging platforms for discussing classified information and has led to calls for investigations into the breach. Does this kind of security breach surprise you?
